Welcome to frei.chat!

2024-01-05
Hello everyone.
Due to limited time, I took the time yesterday and solved the signal bridge problem.
For those who already use the bridge, it is important to know that connected devices, such as cell phones, will need to be re-linked. If you continue to have problems with chat messages to and from Signal, please contact the support channel.
If you want to have all Signal chats in one space you can run the command !signal sync-space in the management room.
Thank you for your understanding.
